I promised myself that this blog would not be THIS kind of blog, but a friend posted this on Facebook and I thought it was worth sharing. Perhaps my friends at my daughter's summer camp will find it helpful. But don't tell anyone you found it here. In fact, if anything on this list ISN'T true, you definitely didn't find it here.
